FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BLUE FOX NAMED A NATIONAL TOP 50 |
Melbourne, FL (June 30, 2024) – Blue Fox was recently named a 2024 Top 50 Accounting Services Practice by Woodard, one of the nation's largest consortium of accounting firms. The Blue Fox team was recognized as a member of this elite nationwide group of accounting professionals during Woodard’s Scaling New Heights Conference in Orlando in June 2024. Designed to honor and celebrate exceptional accounting services practices, the award spotlights practices that best embody the characteristics of top-tier performance—intentionality, specialization, efficiency, effectiveness, profitability, and scalability. |
“This award signals a new level of honor and achievement for our team. We are delighted and humbled to be named a Top 50 Accounting Practice nationally. We appreciate the recognition from Woodard and its selection committee, and we look forward to continuing to learn from our fellow awardees and members of the Woodard community as we continue to grow,” says Blue Fox Founder and CEO, Chantal Sheehan.
When asked what she attributes the company’s success to, Sheehan says, “Everyone defines success differently. At the end of the day, at Blue Fox, we say only 2 things really matter: our team members being happy and fulfilled, and our clients being happy and stress-free. We’ve carefully and intentionally constructed our staffing model, our systems, and our company culture to align with our values. This laser focus on what matters to us, along with our holistic approach to client service, is what makes us unique and successful.”
Blue Fox is one year away from celebrating its 10th anniversary. Since its inception in 2015, the company has experienced significant growth in both its client base and the depth of services it provides to social impact organizations (nonprofits and social enterprises). Approaching a decade in business, the Blue Fox leadership team continues to strategize about ways to magnify the company’s impact and improve the accounting service model for the good of all.
Sheehan elaborates on the company’s future mindset, “Our just cause, or long-term vision, is to create a world where every business and nonprofit leader feels informed and empowered to make decisions that will create positive change in their employees' and stakeholders’ lives. We believe that the best way to do this is to democratize access to the strategies that make businesses impactful, successful, and profitable. We have some exciting plans in place that will help us do that, and we look forward to sharing them publicly soon!”

Blue Fox CEO, Chantal Sheehan Named As Keynote Speaker for Nonprofit Hub's Cause Camp 2020
10/7/2019
"Sheehan will speak on how to drive organizational sustainability though financial stewardship."
Dubbed by her clients as a nonprofit numbers guru, Sheehan will speak on how to drive organizational sustainability though financial stewardship. Her presentation, Count Less - Measure More, focuses on how nonprofits can best leverage their hard-earned funds.
She explains, “Nonprofit leaders spend 90% of their time chasing funding, and 10% of their time analyzing how they leverage those hard-fought dollars - if that! Financial stability and sustainability depend on your ability to disrupt that dynamic. What you do after the money comes in is the true secret sauce in sustainability.”
Conference organizer Jordan Geisert commented on Sheehan’s participation, ““We chose Chantal to speak at Cause Camp 2020 because we are striving for next-level content and we know she can deliver on that. Her presentation on stewardship within nonprofits will include tangible steps that our attendees can take right back to their organizations, which is what our conference is all about.”
Sheehan is a nonprofit organizational leadership expert and financial management coach with over 15 years executive-level experience across the private and public sectors. She guarantees Cause Camp attendees a fast-paced session loaded with takeaways and she promises, “We will make finance fun!”
As an avid blogger she spices up the topic of financial management in publications for Bill.com, Bloomerang, and Hive. Her company blog at www.yourbluefox.com features content aimed to educate and empower nonprofit and social enterprise professionals. From QuickBooks hacks to advice on how to talk finance with a board of directors, the Blue Fox blog has it all.
A recovering nonprofit executive director herself, Sheehan started Blue Fox in 2015, and the company has doubled or tripled in size each year in response to high demand. For more information about Blue Fox call (321) 233-3311, email [email protected], and visit www.yourbluefox.com.

With Balance Announces Rebrand to Blue Fox
The new brand reflects the company’s unique feel along with its commitment to innovation, technology, and giving back
Blue Fox’s unique blend of a technology-based, best of breed bookkeeping solution platform and its laser focus on high quality service and friendly human touch make it an essential and invaluable partner to the nonprofit executive or small business owner. Blue Fox virtual services range from basic accounting to full service CFO-ship. Other back office support includes payroll, tax preparation, and consulting. The company will continue to invest in the cloud-based financial technology (check out our nonprofit accounting tech-stack) that nonprofits and social enterprises need to grow while providing expert support and superior, cheerful hands on assistance.
As evidence of its unique culture and commitment to providing real value added to the social impact space, the company also announced the launch of the Blue Fox Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The foundation’s mission is to ensure the vitality and financial sustainability of the social sector.
“We are excited to publicly commit to actively improving the financial health of the social sector,” says Foundation and Blue Fox founder and CEO, Chantal Sheehan. “Our promise to donate 10% of all corporate proceeds to the Blue Fox Foundation is just the beginning. We hope to inspire gifts from our clients, other foundations, and the public to increase investment in nonprofit technology and training, specifically as it relates to fiscal well-being. The sector simply doesn’t emphasize the importance of this aspect of operations and we are passionately dedicated to changing that. As the saying goes, no money, no mission.”
With the rebrand and foundation launch, Blue Fox further stands out as an up and coming leader, not only within the accounting and back office industry but also within the broader Space Coast and Florida ecosystems. Its new logo brings a sharp, fresh new visual identity, and characterizes the brand as bold, clever, wise, and a little playful. These are not the traits of the typical accounting firm, and that’s exactly the point.
